I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

An hour later, Shen Rong and her family of four left Baiyun Temple.

Master Taixu looked at the backs of the four people going down the mountain and murmured, "My master is dying. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing to teach my disciple the Evergreen Art of our sect?"

However, there was no one by the mountain, and the only one who answered Master Taixu was the spring breeze.

On the third day after Shen Rong arrived in Beijing, Zhou Minglang and his party followed her back to the capital.

At night, Zhou Minglang knocked on the back door of Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

Shen Rong and his wife knew very well why Zhou Minglang came.

Shen Rong asked Changsheng to give the things that Zhou Minglang left with them to Zhou Minglang.

The next day, there was a turmoil in the court, many officials were demoted, and everyone in the court felt insecure.

Down towards the back.

"Why didn't you present these things when you came back yesterday?" Zhao Xi looked at the evidence in his hand expressionlessly.

Zhou Minglang did not dare to be arrogant. "I was chased and killed no less than ten times on my way south. I thought I could not get all the evidence back, so I asked Gong Shiming to bring it back."

"Oh?" Zhao Xi paused while flipping through the account book and looked up at Zhou Minglang. "He went south with you. Can those people leave him alone?"

Zhou Minglang no longer concealed the truth, "Mrs. Gong heard that there was a plague in Jiangnan, so she wanted to go south to save her husband. On the way, she met Master Taixu...

Madam Gong went alone into Jinhu County, which had been sealed off for a month, and finally saved the people of Jinhu County.

When I finished investigating the case and returned to Jinhu County, I secretly handed the evidence to Gong Shiming and asked him to take his wife and Taixu Zhenren back to Beijing first, so as to conceal his tracks.

Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise, the evidence would have been destroyed along the way."

Zhou Minglang glanced at the emperor, whose expression was becoming increasingly cold, and thought that the emperor was like this after seeing the corruption accounts.

Zhou Minglang thought about the journey north, where he had been assassinated and set on fire. He was even more glad that he had let Changsheng and the others take the things and leave first.

After hearing that Shen Rong traveled thousands of miles to Jinhu County to rescue Gong Shiming, Zhao Xi could no longer hear clearly what Zhou Minglang said next.

He tightly grasped the account book in his hand, and said with an unclear expression: "Oh, it seems that the Gong couple have made great contributions this time?"

Zhou Minglang lowered his head and glanced at Zhao Xi's expression calmly, somewhat unsure of what the emperor meant.

Ever since his cousin ascended the throne, his thoughts have become increasingly difficult to fathom. However, based on his understanding of his cousin, he must be angry at this moment.

However, Zhou Minglang couldn't guess why the emperor was angry no matter how hard he tried.

He just thought Zhao Xi was angry because of the corrupt officials. Thinking that Gong Shiming and his wife had indeed made a lot of contributions this time, he said, "If it weren't for the Gong couple, I would not have succeeded so easily. Gong Shiming is quite skilled, and the people of Jinhu County are also grateful to Doctor Shen."

Zhao Xi raised his lips slightly, "Since my cousin said so, how can I not reward my meritorious officials?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhou Minglang kowtowed again.

Zhao Xi did not specify what the reward was, so Zhou Minglang did not ask the emperor what reward the Gong couple had given.

"I heard that my cousin was injured in Jiangnan. If that's the case, go down and rest first!" Zhao Xi was obviously in a bad mood and waved to Zhou Minglang.

When Zhou Minglang saw that his cousin the emperor started to chase people away, he bowed and left.

The next morning, the eunuchs from the palace came to Marquis Pingyang's Mansion with the imperial edict, catching everyone in the Mansion off guard.

After the old lady had the servants hurriedly prepare the incense table, burned incense and took a bath, she led everyone in the mansion to kneel at the gate to receive the order.

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

Now there is the son of Pingyang Marquis, who is loyal and diligent, loyal and quick, and is a pillar of the country and the welfare of the people. I specially grant him the title of second-class marquis to honor his virtue. Accept the order! "

The unique shrill voice belonging to the eunuch echoed in the minds of the people kneeling in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. It took a long time for everyone to realize what had happened.

The Marquis finally inherited the title!

At the old lady's instruction, Changsheng prepared to stand up and accept the order. "I thank the Lord for his grace!"

Who would have thought that the eunuch would smile and put the imperial edict directly in Changsheng's hand, saying: "Marquis Pingyang, don't get up yet. His Majesty has another edict. It won't be too late to get up after I announce the edict."

After that, the chief eunuch Jinzhong took out another bright yellow imperial edict from the young eunuch behind him, unfolded it and sang:

"?The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, decrees that now the Shen family is bravely saving the people...

…Now I specially confer the title of First-Rank Imperial Concubine on Gong Shen and bestow upon her the Imperial Decree to honor her virtue. The Imperial Decree is established to honor the virtuous and respect the way, and to show the correct human relations. Gong Shen, who has received this special honor, should further improve her virtue to live up to my great favor.

Wherever my orders reach, they are treated as if they were my own. The master should immediately carry them out and announce them to the world so that everyone will know. Gong Shen and her family should be grateful for the emperor's grace, abide by the rules of being a woman, honor my favor, and do not disappoint me. "I decree this!"

"Thank you, Lord!" The old lady took the lead in expressing gratitude, and the others behind her also shouted: Thank you, Lord!

Shen Rong followed the old lady in bowing before she realized that she had been rewarded. She hurried forward to take the imperial edict from the eunuch.

At this time, the old lady helped Nanny Hua to stand up, and with a smile she gave a light purse to the eunuch who announced the decree.

The purse was light, not because there was little money inside. On the contrary, there was a silver note worth two hundred taels in the purse. If it were silver, the small purse would not be able to hold much.

Not only did the chief eunuch Jinzhong receive a silver note, but even the junior eunuch behind him received a silver note worth one hundred taels.

The two eunuchs received the silver notes and, at the invitation of the old lady, stayed to drink some tea before returning to the palace with the palace maids.

As soon as the eunuch left, the servants, who had been as quiet as quails, immediately exploded.

"Oh my God! Our young master has been granted the title of nobility! And our young mistress has become a lady of the first rank!"

"You are wrong! He is the Marquis now, and the young mistress is the Marquis's wife!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Our Pingyang Marquis Mansion is finally worthy of its name!"

"Yes, our mansion is now a real marquisate. Let's see who dares to call us a poor family in the future!"

Shen Rong and Changsheng were still in shock, and the servants began to discuss the matter enthusiastically.

To be honest, Shen Rong did so much, and she did think of increasing her rank in this way. But when the imperial edict really came down, she just felt it was a little unreal, like a dream.

She slowly placed the imperial edict in Changsheng's hands.

Changsheng stared blankly at the two imperial edicts in his hands.

The old lady was so excited that she grabbed Aunt Hua's hand and walked to Changsheng, "My dear grandson, hurry up! Take the imperial edict to the ancestral hall and offer it up for the ancestors to see. The glory of our Gong family will hopefully return."

Changsheng nodded and went to the back holding the imperial edict.

Others in the mansion were clearing the incense table, while others were congratulating their master.

After Shen Rong calmed down, she was already sitting in Guiyuan.

"Madam, the old lady said that the Marquis has finally inherited the title. This is a great event, and she wants to reward all the servants in the mansion with one month's salary!" Chun Xing came in from outside the yard with joy.

Shen Rong smiled and said, "Today is a double celebration. I am not stingy. I will give everyone an extra month's salary."

Chun Xing's smile grew brighter, "Thank you Madam for the reward!"
